I think the things you mention open new possibilities for very useful,
seemingly intelligent large scale applications. However, Idon't see how
any present paradigm holds promise for true artificial intelligence.
That is not to say it is not possible; I just don't see any indication
of it. The only thing I currently see is perhaps an artificially grown
brain modeled after the way the human brain grows. But that would be
artificial life rather than intelligence.

former may be true and probably has been true for the past 30 years :)
As for the latter, researchers by nature are more cynical, but I do think that
the confluence of big data, cloud computing, deep nets, and integrated
solutions such as Watson, have brought a new sense of optimism to the field
that hasn't existed in maybe 30 years.
Just my opinion.

Dear Colleagues,
One of my publisher's asked me to review a proposal for a book. The theme of the book is
predicated on the statement that "it is widely believed that in the next 10 to 100
years scientists will succeed in creating human level artificial general
intelligence." There is no research that gives me any reason to believe this. In my
recent AI textbook I took the stance that we have essentially failed at this endeavor.
Does anyone know of any research that would make someone make such a statement?
Thanks,
Rich
